Chornomorets Odessa

LLLWLL

Chornomorets Odessa will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-1 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Veres Rivne.

Chornomorets Odessa have been quite ineffective in attack of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 vs opposition teams during their previous 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Chornomorets Odessa have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 11. Even so, time will tell whether the trend shall be maintained in this game or not.

Rukh Lviv

WLLWDL

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Karpaty Lviv in Premier League competition, Rukh Lviv and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Bruninho (20') was the scorer for Karpaty Lviv.

Over the course of 5 of the prior 6 clashes involving Rukh Lviv, a notably low volume of goals have been scored between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game in that period comes to just 1.83, with the average goals for Rukh Lviv equalling 0.67.

Going into this one, Rukh Lviv haven't been beaten by Chornomorets Odessa when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league matches.

👥 Head to head

Inspecting their prior head to head meetings going back to 06/11/2021 shows that Chornomorets Odessa have won 1 of them & Rukh Lviv 3, with the tally of draws being 2.

Those games weren’t short on goals, either, with 24 overall at an average of 4 goals per match.

🗞️ Team News: Chornomorets Odessa

It’s our opinion that The Sailors will probably make use of the 4-4-2 formation featuring Artur Rudko, Yaroslav Kysyl, Yevgeniy Skyba, Yaroslav Rakitskiy, Bogdan Butko, Kiril Popov, Kyrylo Sigeev, Artem Gabelok, Denys Yanakov, Oleksiy Khoblenko and Emil Mustafaiev.

🗞️ Team News: Rukh Lviv

Thanks to a mainly available group, there is only the one fitness issue for the Rukh Lviv boss Vitaliy Ponomaryov to be concerned about. Marko Sapuga (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Rukh Lviv could decide to elect for a 4-1-4-1 lineup, settling for Y. Gereta, Andriy Kitela, Oleg Gorin, Vitaliy Kholod, Vitaliy Roman, Denys Pidgurskyi, Yaroslav Karabin, Yevgeniy Pastukh, Artur Ryabov, Vasyl Runich and Yury Klimchuk.

⚡ Prediction

In our opinion, Chornomorets Odessa will need to apply a lot of pressure to register a score against this Rukh Lviv team who we think should be able to grind out a win.

We’re therefore anticipating a good battle with a 0-1 advantage for Rukh Lviv when all is said and done.

Looking forward to this.
